I feel that I should be able name several Jules Verne characters, "B" movie villains, and such who powered their underwater lairs and/or sinister superweapons this way - but I'm coming up blank.
Anyone?

Subnautica bases can be powered entirely by geothermal vents, and one can enter the water by piloting a badass mecha right out of the moonpool.
The Incredibles did it second, and almost certainly there is a Bond Villian or knockoff Bond show that did it.
Did they though? Syndrome had a volcano base for sure, but I don't remember them ever showing a powerplant. The guy was harnessing zero point energy somehow; doesn't seem like mere lava would interest him as a power source.
The Thunderbirds had Tracy Island
Blofeld from You Only Live Twice.
Fiat Cliche :)
Some tropes become only known from their parodies, and they lead to other parodies.
All I can think of are supervillains in land based volcanoes not underwater ones
